Will these flares fit wider wheels and tires than stock?

Yes. RBS-style flares are designed to accommodate aggressive wheel offsets and wider tire widths. Verify your wheel offset and tire diameter against the fender opening before final installation to ensure proper clearance.

Do I need to drill the fenders to install these?

Installation method depends on your chosen fastening approach. Verify mounting points on your vehicle's OEM rear fender before committing to a fastening strategy — some builders prefer adhesive-reinforced bolting, others use rivnuts. Reference your vehicle's service manual for recommended panel attachment methods.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to preserve the weave detail and protect against oxidation. Consult a professional finisher familiar with carbon fiber to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
